SHIPPING AND PAYMENT

How to place an order:
As Alibaba advice for our security we have to use an escrow service. We use a shipping company that offer the same service as Alibaba Escrow. Our shipping partner is Royal Mail, official United Kingdom carrier. They have a service that will allow you to test your merchandise before we receive payment.
I will explain to you detailed, step by step how this work's.
1) First you will have to send me your order along with your full name and address. I will need them for the shipping.
2) After I receive the order from you I will go to the Royal Mail store and leave the products on your name as the intended receiver.
3) Royal Mail will check the products to see if everything is OK with them and also the legal papers that will come along with the products.
4) Royal Mail will send you a delivery notification to inform you that the products you have ordered are in their custody, along with the verification result of the merchandise.
5) At this point you must make the payment to Royal Mail.
6) After you make the deposit you will have to send the info about the money transfer to Royal Mail.
7) Royal Mail will verify the payment information and if everything is in order they will deliver the products to you.
8) After you receive the products, check them and see that all is in order, you have to instruct Royal Mail to transfer the money to me.
If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the products, you will return the products to Royal Mail with no expense.
Shipping is free.

Alibaba = worst trading website!

I did got scammed 50 thousand dollars a few years ago. Don't even ask. Just telling you real experience. Thank god escrow legit sites are up these days!

[RedShootingStar]

Whenever someone goes out of their way to financially benefit you fast and no risk you might just want to look past it. Dont let your emotions take over your brain. This is one of the main reasons people are on this site, is because they let their emotions take over, "OMG, 20 264gb Flash Drives for $200 bucks! I can make like $3,500 in a couple days!.....Hey guys, I didnt know they were ⊗⊗⊗⊗, what do I do?"

[GrannyT]

If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is

[rsot]

At times GTran, YOU sound too good to be true hence....=P

[GrannyT]

Aaaa - you're a pet LJ
